According to a new report by Cyble Research and Intelligence Labs (CRIL), hackers have created new malware that targets macOS and steals important, private information, such as keychain and macOS user account passwords, system information, and files on the Desktop and Documents folder.
Dubbed Atomic macOS Stealer (AMOS), the malware also targets browsers and looks for information such as user names, passwords, credit card numbers, cookies, and more. CRIL’s research also found that AMOS specifically targets crypto wallets by Atomic, Binance, Coinomi, Electrum, Exodus, and others.
“The [threat actor] behind this stealer is constantly improving this malware and adding new capabilities to make it more effective,” according to CRIL, which found AMOS on Telegram, a service that offers private massaging channels. In one of these channels, the creators of AMOS advertised their malware for $1,000 per month. If one were to enlist AMOS, they would have access to the malware, as well as “a web panel for managing victims, meta mask brute-forcing for stealing seed and private keys, crypto checker, and dmg installer, after which it shares the logs via Telegram.”
